On Sept. 4, a man notified the sheriff's office's criminal investigative branch that he noticed fraudulent purchase transactions online for electronic items on his credit card. Investigators responded to UPS in the town of Greenport after Arhin picked up two of the items bought fraudulently using the victim's stolen identity.

Arhin was arraigned and released on his own recognizance and must appear back in court on Dec. 7.

The Columbia County District Attorney's Office assisted in the investigation.
